63 페이지 - Bless'd be the gracious Power, who taught mankind To stamp a lasting image of the mind ! Beasts may convey, and tuneful birds may sing, Their mutual feelings, in the opening spring ; But man alone has skill and power to send The heart's warm dictates to the distant friend : 'Tis Iris alone to please, instruct, advise Ages remote, and nations yet to rise.

27 페이지 - Twas then, a spark of — say not discontent — Struck on his mind, and thus he gave it vent : " Kind are your laws, ('tis not to be denied,) That in yon house, for ruin'd age, provide, And they are just; — when young, we give you all, And for assistance in our weakness call.
29 페이지 - No more that meek and suppliant look in prayer, Nor the pure faith (to give it force), are there; — But he is blest, and I lament no more A wise good man contented to be poor.
